go and make a fool out of me...

by pretending to help me

find the man that killed Robin?

I did not wish you to learn something

that might force me to kill you.

But, now, what must be will be.

I'm sure enough sorry

to have to do this, Rafael.

-I kind of like you.

-Don't apologize, amigo. It's your funeral.

How do you want this fight,

Western or Southern style?

Seeing there's so many ladies present...

I think it might be more fitting

if you fought Southern.

Jason!

Back to back and 1 0 paces.

Let's make it five,

it's getting a little late, men.

What are they going to do?

He's going to kill the man

which killed his brother.

-You mean....

-Yup.

Now, you both know the rules as laid down

by the Limbo County Dueling Commission.

-Yeah.

-Okay, back to back.

And on the count of five, turn and fire.

-Ready?

-Ready.

One.

Two.

Three.

-Time's running out, Jason.

-You keep out of this. You, too.

Four.

-Five!

-Stop!

Jason, are you gonna let one of these idiots

kill the man Susana loves?

What?

Hang on to your pants, Jason.

They're slipping.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes,

I wouldn't have believed it!

Jason, what's happened

to the Code of the West?

Don't ask me.

I'm having enough trouble

hanging on to my pants.

This can't be! This just can't be!

If you let Reb and Rafael

get away with this...

you'll live to see the day,

when there won't be anybody left...

manly enough to shoot even a sheriff.

Are you gonna stand still for this insult

to the honor of Limbo County?

-No!

-All right, then. Come on!

-Howdy, Rafael.

-Buenos noches.

I'm sure enough glad

I didn't have to kill you this afternoon.

On the contrary, amigo,

it's I who am overjoyed...

because I was able to spare your life.

Ain't you two afraid

to be out alone at night...

without no woman to protect you?

Yes. How would you two lovie-dovies

like to hide behind my skirts?

Oh, there you are!

It's a good thing I found you two

before it's too late.

Too late for what?

To save the honor of Limbo County,

that's what!

Why, if word of this ever gets out...

Limbo County's gonna

be the laughing-stock of the whole West!

And everybody's gonna blame you, Rafael.

Reb here's an outsider,

but you, you're a hometown boy.

Wait a minute.

It's not his fault I didn't shoot him.

I couldn't bring myself

to kill the man Susana loves.

What is this? What makes--

What makes you think

Susana's gonna be happy...

when everybody finds out

she's in love with a coward?

Why, don't you realize if you two

don't come to your senses...

you'll be the first men

in the history of Limbo County...

to ever violate the Code of the West?

I had a guy

He took a train

Why did he go?

Who can explain?

It was a great love story

Now, it's just bad news

Thought he was fair

Thought he was kind

Funny how life

Changes your mind

It was a great love story

Now it's just bad news

He was my one and only

Now I'm Lady Lonely

Wondering will he return?

My heart is aching

Here's the point I'm making

Women don't

Women won't learn

Tried to do right

Guess I did wrong

Now every night

Lingers too long

Yes, it was some love story

Now it's just bad news

Sing that part again, sister.

That's where it hurts.

It was a great love story

Now it's just bad news!

I got news!

How many times have I told you

not to interrupt the show?

-But, you don't understand--

-Boys!

Tomorrow morning at 1 0:00.

Thank you, fellows.

Things are gonna happen around here.

You're gonna be sorry....

-Now, what's this all-fired news you got?

-The fight's on again!

Reb and Rafael are gonna shoot it out.

-What?

-Yep!

Hold it, everyone!

-The big shooting match is on again.

-What?

Yep, tomorrow morning, 1 0:00. Main Street.

A brave man

Will die in the morning

being true to his Code

Two men will fire

At a given warning

One will return

down the road

Goodbye, Jane

Goodbye, Joe

One will return down the road

One man

Is kind of a stranger

One a man we all trust

They're both too proud

To retreat from danger

Soon one will lie in the dust

Goodbye, Jane

Goodbye, Joe

Soon one will lie in the dust

They don't claim

To hate one another

But they're caught in the web

Sometimes a man

Has to fight his brother

Pity Rafael and poor Reb

Goodbye, Jane

Goodbye, Joe

Pity Rafael and poor Reb

A man must be

True to his honor

Or be scorned by the crowd

And though we know

One will be a goner

He'll meet his maker unbowed

Goodbye, Jane

Goodbye, Joe

He'll meet his maker unbowed

It's easy

to live as a coward

Some may say this is best

Your heroes die

just as life has flowered

That is the Code of the West

Goodbye, Jane

Goodbye, Joe

That is the Code of the West

That is the Code of the West

Hey, duck, who do you suppose

is gonna win that fight tomorrow?

-You think Reb's a good bet at one to two?

-Why?

'Cause I'm trying

to trap myself a fast buck...

and I don't mean no male Indian, neither.

Minnie.

Don't tell me

you'd try to make money that way.

I guess not.

If I did, I wouldn't be able to look myself

in the face when I shave in the morning.

Well, it was a temptation.

You're no different than a lot of the others.

They all think murder's a spectator sport.

Their idea of good, clean fun

is to stand on the sidewalk...

and watch somebody get killed.

Even the little kids.

It keeps them out of pool halls.

I'd like to teach them all a lesson.

I'd like to take each one of them, and....

Reb!

Is it true, Reb, what I just heard,

that you're going to fight Rafael after all?

Everybody seems to think I am.

Everybody's kind of planning on it.

-But you're not going to do it, are you?

-I thought I was.

But, now that I look at you,

I guess I'll just slip out of town tonight.

-Why?

-I don't care what they say, Susana.

I'm just not gonna stay here

and shoot the man you love.

If that Rafael doesn't treat you right,

you just let me know.

I'll come back and kill him a whole lot.

Goodbye.

Oh, Reb, how could you be

so dumb, stupid, blind?

-It's you I love.

-Yeah, I know that.

But I wasn't in any danger

this afternoon. It was....

What did you say?

It's me you love, not Rafael?

Of course, my vain, arrogant darling.

I'd never have believed it in a million years.

Susana!

Meet a happy guy

Simple words sweetly said

Filled my heart and turned my head

Now I know

that you're in love with me, dear

Meet a happy guy

Here you are, by my side

We'll be living high and wide

Now I know how happy we can be, dear

Oh, what you do to me

It's all so new to me

You're so ideal, so divine

Just a walking valentine

Meet a happy guy

Got my way, got my love

And I'll tell you what, my love

Your sweet touch

has made me such a happy

Happy guy

Lucky me, loving you

Knowing that you love me, too

Your sweet touch has made me such

a happy, happy guy!

Susana.

Boy, I'm a whole heap glad I don't have to

run out on that fight with Rafael tomorrow.

Oh, no, Reb, you can't mean
